Cyber-crime increasingly impacts both the online and offline world, and targeted attacks play a significant role in disrupting services in both. Targeted attacks are those that are aimed at a particular individual, group, or type of site or service. Unlike worms and viruses that usually attack indiscriminately, targeted attacks involve intelligence-gathering and planning to a degree that drastically changes its profile.
Individuals, corporations, and even governments are facing new threats from targeted attacks. Targeted Cyber Attacks examines real-world examples of directed attacks and provides insight into what techniques and resources are used to stage these attacks so that you can counter them more effectively.
- A well-structured introduction into the world of targeted cyber-attacks
- Includes analysis of real-world attacks
- Written by cyber-security researchers and experts

Eggs and pesto—when I'm out of these things, it's time to go to the store. Basil is the source to a week long supply of homemade pesto.
The richly flavored paste is filling and refreshing—plus basil is a mild sedative and digestive aid, and it treats headaches. A sedative is definitely what I need around 6 p.m. when I'm watching Mikey toss his dinner plate on to the ground. The herb is still used in China to treat spasms of the intestinal tract, kidney ailments, and poor circulation (Murray).
When I don't know what to make for dinner, I whip up some pesto and dump it on pasta. Ideally, I have already made the pesto and all I have to do is boil water for the pasta. Pesto can last anywhere from one to three weeks but I found that after a week the top goes brown and I have to scrape it off. So, I'd say freeze your pesto if you haven't used it in a week. Use Ruth Yaron's ice cube method and just pop a couple cubes out when you want to make some pesto pasta!
If I don't have any basil, I have a problem—I loathe last-minute trips to the store. I use bulk whole wheat, rice, or spinach pasta. Spinach pasta is made with semolina flour which is white flour. Not the best food choice but Mikey loves his green pasta. The picture shows rice pasta. Rice pasta is gluten free and a much needed rest from all that wheat that we eat. In fact, this meal is completely packaging-free. I also make pizza about twice a week and we all prefer to smear pesto sauce across our pies rather than the traditional tomato.
I eased into making pesto from scratch. First, I topped pasta with jarred pesto from Trader Joe's (Pesto alla Genovese). I always added extra olive oil to the thick sauce to make it last longer and easier to work with. Then, I tried the premade bulk pesto at Rainbow—which is quite yummy but expensive. But now I make my own. Homemade pesto is tastier than the jarred Pesto alla Genovese and cheaper than the premade kind. Even with the temptation of the emergency jar in the pantry, I make my own fresh batch weekly.
I started with this recipe from Joy of Cooking. I often skip the garlic or pine nuts and it still turns out fine:
2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup pine nuts
2 medium cloves of garlic, peeled
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and ground pepper to taste
I never thought that I'd be the type of person who makes something without a cookbook—even a simple recipe like this one. But now I am that sort of person and here's how I knock off pesto:
Tear off all the basil leaves from stems of 2 bundles of basil and put into the food processor.
Add one to two cloves of garlic.
Sprinkle in some pine nuts.
Dump some grated Parmesan into the food processor. (If I don't have grated cheese, I grate it in the food processor before I start making the pesto.)
Pour in olive oil while the food processor is running until a liquid consistency is observed (about 1/2 bottle of olive oil).
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Thankfully, pesto is very forgiving!

Your posting inspired me to make pesto pasta for my daughter, who is a picky eater. She loved the pesto! Now, she will eat more than noodles with butter and cheese. She has an especially sensitive palate so I made it without garlic the first time and then I made it with half a clove the second and now we've worked our way up to one full clove.

I have a garlic allergy, so the advice in this article inspired me to experiment even with the last fresh basil available for the year in my town! Thanks for the extra ideas! I have been missing basil and finally am excited to get an evening to focus on it!
... I'm going to try alternating with my faviorite stuff - a little black olive, cashews, maybe a little goat cheese.... ??

Will and I recently celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. 5 years since we said I do, 5 years since becoming a Mr and Mrs team and 5 years of bickering over who left a used teabag on the side - true story!
We decided we'd go out to the cinema and for dinner together, but this then turned into just dinner, which then turned into lunch, which actually resulted in breakfast! This happens when you have children, your plans go straight out of the window! But we did enjoy a lovely anniversary breakfast and walk along the beach.
Will has been really supportive these past 6 months, I mean he's supportive anyway, but since I became a Digital Marketing Freelancer, after being made redundant, he's been there for me during the times I've been filled with self-doubt and has always known exactly what to say. Not to forget the late night's keeping me company whilst I've worked and providing me with an endless supply of tea!
I wanted to make sure I got him an extra special gift for our 5th wedding anniversary, and upon research I found out that usually for 5th wedding anniversaries the gift is wooden. I had no idea what to get him, but luckily for me I was approached by JORD, offering me the opportunity to review one of their hand-crafted wooden watches. It was perfect timing on both parts, and I eagerly browsed their absolutely stunning range of watches, and in the end decided on the very elegant Conway series, Dark Sandalwood and Burgundy watch – View it online here. I may have even had a sneak peak at the ladies watches too..oh my!
I chose this watch for Will as I loved the vibrancy of the burgundy and how it complimented the dark sandalwood, plus I thought it was about time Will had an 'adult' watch. A watch he can show off and be proud of, and I was not disappointed once it arrived. JORD offer free shipping worldwide on all their watches, and I received it within two weeks. The outer packaging was still in fantastic order, considering it had been shipped from the US to UK and I couldn't wait to open it, I mean for Will to open it!
The watch is packaged within a beautiful wooden box, one you'd definitely keep, and l could tell straight away that this would be an impressive and well-received gift for anyone. The watch itself is stunning and the vibrancy of the burgundy matched the images on their website. I was slightly dubious as to how a wood watch would feel but it's very light and smooth, and extremely well made!
Will is now the proud owner of a JORD watch, and I think I definitely picked up some wife points!
Fancy owning your very own JORD watch? JORD are kindly offering one of my lucky readers a $100 gift code to use on their site – PLUS everyone who enters will receive a $25 code at the end of the contest...So have a think, do you have someone's birthday coming up? Or perhaps an anniversary like me, or just don't know what to buy the person who has everything? Enter the competition and take a look on JORD's site. With free worldwide shipping, you can't go wrong! Enter the competition by clicking here.
Terms and conditions:
Thank you to JORD for providing us with the Conway Series watch in return for an honest review.
27/2/2017 12:35:31 pm
I love JORD watches, this one is beautiful!! Know exactly what you mean about downgrading dinner plans to lunch then to breakfast - ahhh the joys of parenting!
27/2/2017 12:39:10 pm
That's a lovely gift idea :) beautiful colours too! Xx
27/2/2017 12:41:21 pm
This is a lovely anniversary gift!
27/2/2017 01:16:19 pm
Congrats on your 5th anniversary! Haha funny how dinner resulted in breakfast :)
27/2/2017 02:54:45 pm
Congrats on your anniversary! The watch looks great :)
27/2/2017 02:59:25 pm
I love JORD watches, totally in love with mine! Happy anniversary to you both!
27/2/2017 03:27:25 pm
I LOVE, love the watch! The fact that it's made out of wood is just so cool and I'm sure he'll love it :)
27/2/2017 03:45:01 pm
Oh wow, this is lovely! It is our 5th wedding anniversary this year and this would be the perfect gift. I'll have to send the link to my hubby so we can get matching ha!
27/2/2017 08:00:20 pm
Congratulations on your wedding anniversary! The Jord watch looks fab!!
27/2/2017 10:28:41 pm
Congratulations! The watch looks gorgeous too x
28/2/2017 01:05:37 pm
Looks like you came up with a great gift. Congratulations!
1/3/2017 08:39:30 am
Happy anniversary! I think it definitely can be difficult buying for people who have everything - that's why I like to find quirky presents. This watch is amazing, though :)

Discover how to easily unlock one of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's most interesting Easter Eggs, the zombie mannequins event on the remade Nuketown map.
As is the case with most games in the series, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is packed with Easter Eggs. One of the more interesting ones has recently been discovered, and it allows players to contend with the horrors of zombified mannequins.
Unlocking the zombie mannequins event on the remade Nuketown map in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is simple enough. Players just have to shoot the heads off all the mannequins on the map within the first two minutes of the match. Doing so will cause a horde of mannequins that stumble after the player in a manner not unlike how the zombies move in their own dedicated game mode.
For those that are having difficulties finding all of the mannequins within the allotted two minutes, feel free to refer to this video for additional help:
The zombie mannequins event is definitely one of the more amusing Easter Eggs that has appeared in a Call of Duty game. Players that are familiar with Nuketown and Easter Eggs attached to the map in the past probably expected to be treated to a Rolling Stones song or something along those lines after removing all the mannequin heads instead of being swarmed by creepy mannequin zombies. This makes the zombie mannequins even more of a treat for veteran Call of Duty players that went into Nuketown with pre-conceived notions of its Easter Eggs.
The only disappointing aspect about the zombie mannequins event is that not all Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 players will have a chance to enjoy it right now. Unfortunately, the new Nuketown map was a Black Ops 3 pre-order bonus, and there's no word yet on when the map will be available to download for those that didn't pre-order the game. It's possible that it will be available as soon as next month, as we saw with Nuketown 2025 back in the days of Black Ops 2, or perhaps it will come attached with the first expansion pack.
Another question regarding the Nuketown map is that when the new version of Nuketown does become available to those that didn't pre-order, will it be timed-exclusive to PlayStation? We already know that PlayStation owners have first dibs on all four expansion packs planned for the game, but since Nuketown was available on day one to anyone that pre-ordered Black Ops 3 for PC, PS4, or Xbox One, it's unclear if the timed-exclusivity rule applies to it as well.
In any case, little Easter Eggs like this can be a lot of fun for players to discover and mess around with, and it's nice to see that Treyarch is still jam-packing their games full of them. It gives the new Nuketown map an added dose of personality, and it will be interesting to see if other maps in the game have similar Easter Eggs that players have yet to discover.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is currently available for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.

When Companies Force You to Resign
By Deanna Bonaparte
The nature of a resignation implies that you are leaving a company entirely out of your own accord. But what happens if your company resorts to artful, unscrupulous means to bulldoze you out of the picture? Do you brave the winds and remain firm or crumble under the pressure and resign? Although it might sit better with prospective employers when they learn that you resigned instead of being dismissed, a thorny situation like this requires you to stay calm and think through the ups and downs of both outcomes. (Read More Here!)
Q&A: What Should I Do When My Dream Job Becomes My Worst Nightmare?
Question: I used to be happy with my job but I've come to hate it. I don't know what I should do. Should I quit or are there other options that I should consider?
Answer: In situations like this, quitting will almost always seem like the most attractive option. However, the most attractive option might not always be the most ideal or feasible, and when it comes to something as important as a job, it's important that one treads with caution. (Read More Here!)
Q&A: Should I Join the Office Exodus?
Question: Recently, a number of colleagues have tendered their resignation at the company I recently joined. As I am a new hire, this sudden exodus has left me wondering if there is something 'wrong' about the organisation and whether I should leave before it's too late. What should I do?
Answer: It's easy to be influenced by the sudden departure of many of your co-workers, especially if they're senior employees. As a new hire, you'll be the most impressionable during your first few months at your new workplace.
And in the absence of any concrete information, the rumour mill at your company will also naturally go into overdrive, putting you in a position where you'll be receiving lots of (un)substantiated gossip. (Read More Here!)

Stratford upon Avon is a very popular destination when it comes to escaping somewhere for weekend break.
But why is this? What does it offer that draws so many people to it? Some reasons are obvious but others aren't so much. Let's see what you could expect from a weekend break in a Stratford upon Avon holiday cottage.
1. Indulge in some Shakespearean history. It's the main reason why so many people are drawn to the area for a weekend stay or even longer. Shakespeare was born, lived and died here, so there are lots of properties you can go and view. See one or see them all – you've got plenty of time if you are in town for a few days.
2. Enjoy some shopping. Stratford is known for its shops and regardless of whether you want to see familiar household names or quaint local delights you will find plenty to browse round here. Since the whole area is peppered with old buildings with a history, wandering around the shops gives you a good opportunity to sightsee as well.
3. Try a spot of boating on the River Avon. If the weather is good and you fancy a lazy afternoon on the river, you can do just that in Stratford upon Avon. There are various river cruises you can go on, and there is even an old ferry that provides a fascinating way to get from one side of the River Avon to the other. And if you have got the energy why not hire a rowing boat and explore the river yourself? It's a lovely way to get some exercise!
4. Explore the many tea rooms and restaurants in Stratford upon Avon. No town like this would be complete without a tea room, and Stratford has its fair share of places to visit. The Dirty Duck is very well known in the area, and you can also visit an inn which is named after William Shakespeare's mother, Mary Arden.
5. Look for somewhere to stay when you come back for another long weekend. There are so many lovely holiday cottages and so much self catering accommodation you can stay in that you won't want to try the same place twice! Check our selection of holiday properties near Stratford upon Avon to see how many options there are.
You can see that you won't run short of things to do during a weekend in this particular town. There is a lot of history to get involved with and even wandering around and soaking up the atmosphere is definitely to be recommended.
Be sure to explore the many other non-Shakespearean attractions in the area as well though. There are lots of them and they all cater for the many tourists who frequent the area throughout the year.
And if you don't have time to see it all, you can come back again to view the rest of the delights that Stratford upon Avon has in store for you.

An Interview with Rene Girard
by Brian McDonald
Rene Girard is both one of the twentieth century's most prominent theorists of culture and a devout Roman Catholic. Born and raised in France, Girard received his Ph.D. in history from Indiana University and has lived and taught for most of his life in America.
He combines a "deconstructionist" and "debunking" analysis of the origins and bases of human culture with an essentially traditionalist affirmation of Christianity. His cultural analysis has been praised by secular critics, even as his insistence that this very analysis should lead to Christian affirmation has shocked them. Christians are pleased that a giant of modernist and postmodernist thought is a solid . . .

Posting to Posterous from a Mac without sending an email using an Automator workflow
I've mentioned before that Posterous was my favourite on-the-side blogging tool. I use it for one thing only at present: displaying images and videos I link to in my tweets. I find Posterous a much more elegant and flexible way of doing this than other image hosting services associated with Twitter, such as Twitpic or yFrog. But there's nothing wrong with using Posterous for a lot more than this. In fact, if I didn't need the features only WordPress can bring, I'd definitely be using it as my only blog. As it is, I post images and videos to my own blog on Posterous, which then get distributed to Twitter and Facebook (without duplication, which is nice); the videos additionally get sent to my Vimeo account.
Posting by email is horribly fastidious
One thing I definitely don't like about Posterous, however, is their idea that somehow, it's more convenient blogging by email. Far too fastidious: you need to fire up your email client or webapp, type in the email address, subject, message text, include the attachment… I can imagine some situations where it might make sense to blog by email, such as if I were urgently compelled to post about something from some Internet café in the middle of nowhere, with neither iPhone, nor iPad, nor MacBook Air at hand. Altogether an unlikely scenario.
Quite often, though, I want to share an image, screenshot or video, and find the post.ly method provided by Posterous for 'posting all kinds of files from your computer to Twitter' (and anywhere else that you set Posterous to post) just doesn't work in Safari with Flash disabled. On the iPhone (though, strangely, not the iPad), you can use Posterous's excellent app. On the Mac, however, you're reduced to sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the media you want to share attached, a cumbersome procedure. Posting using the web interface, called Post Editor 2.0, although it's nice that that option is available, takes longer still.
MarsEdit unfortunately doesn't yet support Posterous
I'm a believer in using desktop clients whenever they're available; if they're not, I've found it can save time setting up a custom workflow or routine to match one's individual requirement. My favourite destop blogging client, MarsEdit, doesn't work with Posterous, because they don't use a standard API. As Daniel Jalkut, Marsedit's developer, put in in a forum discussion:
I am hoping that Posterous will implement support for one of the standard blogging APIs that MarsEdit supports. They have indicated that this is something they want to do, but I don't know what their schedule is for doing it.
If they don't do it soon, I may look into implementing support via their custom API, but since that is a considerable amount of work, I'm hoping they will adopt one of the standard APIs.
Posting to Posterous by just dragging the content of your post to a folder is childishly simple to set up using an Automator workflow
Until the feature becomes available on MarsEdit, for posting media files to Posterous without using email or the web interface, I've set up a simple folder action using Automator:
- I created an empty folder on my Desktop (though you could locate it anywhere else) and called it Posterous;
- I created an Automator workflow triggered every time content is added to the Posterous folder;
- the Folder Workflow does the following in sequence: (i) gets the folder contents; (ii) creates a new Mail message addressed from my default email address to firstname.lastname@example.com; (iii) prompts the user to fill in the subject and content of the Mail message (which will appear as the post title and text); (iv) adds any attachments to the Mail message; (v) sends it and (vi) moves the attachment to the Trash.
Now, when I want to share a media file on Twitter, I simply save or drag it to the Posterous file, whichever is quicker, fill in the title and the optional text when prompted, and the media file gets posted to Twitter, Facebook and, if appropriate, Vimeo.
This is a short screencast of what it looks like. In this example, I'm reading my feeds in Google Reader, and come across a post with a screenshot of a preview of the forthcoming Mac version of my favourite RSS client, Reeder. To share it on Twitter and Facebook, via Posterous, all I need to do is right-click on the image and save it to the Posterous folder on my Desktop that's associated with the Automator workflow I've written. I could just as easily drag a file that's already somewhere in my file system to that folder: both would trigger the Automator workflow and prompt me for a subject to the email sent to Posterous, which will serve as the title of my post and as the text of the associated tweet.
Posterous will then automatically send your content on to Twitter or any other social network you specify
This setup will obviously only work for posting media files, but the Automator workflow can be altered to suit practically any type of Posterous post. In this instance, my Posterous has been set to autopost anything I send to Twitter, so a tweet with my image as attachment and the title for which I was prompted by Automator will appear immediately after the email is received by Posterous:
You can download my own Automator workflow (at your own risk!) and modify it to suit your own tastes. Custom icons are included.

Project Description
Interview with PAULINI
The Bodyguard musical is hitting stages across Australia as of today. AMNplify's Pauli Dee spoke to Paulini about landing the lead role as Rachel Maron in what's tipped to be the musical of the DECADE!
Pauli: How's Melbourne treating you?
Paulini: It was really cold this morning, but now it's absolutely beautiful.
You don't get down here very often, do you?
No, I don't actually, I was just telling that to the publicist.
Well you'll be spending some time here very soon when The Bodyguard Musical comes in August.
Yes! I'll be there for three whole months!
How did you get into The Bodyguard?
Did you have to audition for that?
Yes, I did. They called my agent and I had to send in a video of a few of the scenes and performances of a few of the songs and from there I had about three call-backs and then got the awesome phone call that I was Rachel Maron!
How amazing. You've got to be wrapped, right?
Oh, I think it's still sinking in. Now that we're doing the promo and that type of stuff, I think it's now hitting home that I've got this role.
Oh mate, wait for rehearsals!
Oh my god, I know, right? (Laughs) I'm talking to a few of the other cast members and they're like "when you get to rehearsals, it's going to be so full-on" and I'm just like yeah, I know it's going to be scary, but I'm so excited, I'm just ready!
Well you'd be so used to working on solo projects, working on a group project like this is something new to you, right?
That's exactly right. It is. I guess in a way the pressure's not all on me. I know I'm the lead role in it, but I like the thought of other people being around me while I'm on stage, it feels good, like I can share the load a little bit.
Working on solo projects of your own is very much a reflection of YOUR self and YOUR visions. How much of a group project like this is still your own vision, or is all someone elses?
It's still my own, but in a different type of way. I think with my own stuff, I'm writing my own lyrics and I'm putting my own stories in there, but with this I can parts of myself in it… I think the biggest challenge for myself in this is trying to sustain it and give this role what it deserves.
So there's pressure to do the role justice?
Exactly. The amount of people that have said to me; "What are you going to do? These are WHITNEY songs! How are you going to do that?" and I actually have no idea but all I know is I have to get so fit for it, I have to get my stamina up. I have to be super-fit to do 8 shows a week.
It's a big acting role. Have you done much acting before?
I've dabbled a little bit in TV. I did a small part in a TV series called "sisters of war" but this is so different, you know it's singing AND dancing.
Do you know if there's going to be much dancing?
There's going to be A LOT of dancing!
Oh shit!
I know! (Laughs) I actually had no idea until I met the choreographer and we went through the routine and I was like WOW! This is Beyonce kind of stuff! I was just like "I'm not sure I can do this!" and he assured me that once rehearsals kick-in, I'll just get it! So I hope that happens!
Well I don't know if you remember our last chat, I said you were Australia's Beyonce!
So I think you'll be fine and pull it off really well!
(Laughs) Yes! I remember that! You bought that into life for me! You put it out there and look at us now! Thank you!
I do what I can mate! Hey, is there going to be an on-stage kiss with Frank Farmer?
Oh my gosh, yes! I think not just once but twice! That's another challenge for me! I've never done anything like that before and I'm freaking out. Kip's such a nice guy and he's been helping me through the whole thing and we get along great, so kissing him every now and then isn't going to be so bad!
Have you seen the West End production?
I have! I saw it three years ago when I was over there, but it's changed a lot. They've added a few more songs into it, changed a few of the scenes, so it's not exactly the same as when I saw it three years ago. I hear that it's better.
Since you've found out that you're the lead role, have you thrown the DVD on and watched the movie?
Oh my gosh, I've watched it like fifty million times! Before I went in for my auditions, I think I was watching it every day, just to get the feel of it because I had watched it so long ago and I was reminded of how it's just a beautiful love story.
Have you got any other projects you're thinking about? Or is this pretty much taking up all your time at the moment?
This is talking up a whole year, so 2017 is all done for me. It's bodyguard year! I hope that I can still do a little bit of writing maybe.
One Random Minute:
In three words or less, describe Prinnie Stevens
My sister. She's actually my sister. We actually call each other sisters in real life.
If you were a Spice Girl, which one would you be?
What did you have for breakfast this morning?
Nothing! I've had coffee, but I've been doing interviews all morning.
Favourite dessert?
creme brulee
Favourite Whitney Houston song?
Run To You
Apples or bananas?
Tea or coffee?
Summer or winter?
What animal makes the best pet?

Russian Film
Including Soviet Films
Films I like
Friday, 25 November 2011
Alexander Sokurov - The Russian auteur and his Faustian pact with Putin
Modern mass culture, aimed at consumers, is crippling people's souls," the late Andrei Tarkovsky claimed. This is hardly the remark you expect from a film-maker. Cinema, after all, is the mass-culture medium par excellence. It's expensive, collaborative, industrial, and reliant on technicians, labs, marketing and distribution. There have been few film-makers able to escape the commercial constraints on their craft. Tarkovsky, who made his best films within the straitjacket of Soviet-era censorship, used to talk of his work as being akin to "sculpting in time". The phrase would have made film financiers in the West wince. The idea of directors chiselling away at their images was the antithesis of Western studio working practices, which were about budgets, deadlines and release dates. The Russian was an anachronistic and unusual figure 30 years ago (he died in 1986). From today's vantage point, he seems as outlandish as a dodo, or a director from another planet. "Tarkovsky is the greatest of them all. He moves with such naturalness in the room of dreams. He doesn't explain. What should he explain anyhow?" Ingmar Bergman wrote of him. The door to that room has long since been closed. That's why it was so surprising at the Venice Film Festival when the competition jury, headed by Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky, ignored the claims of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Shame and various other much-hyped movies to give the Golden Lion to Tarkovsky's disciple, Alexander Sokurov, for his cinematic version of Goethe's Faust, one of the movies showing in a season of the director's work at London's BFI. What made Sokurov's triumph in Venice register all the more strongly was that it came at a time when governments across the world were slashing their culture budgets. His brand of film-making seems to be under threat more than ever. "Culture is not a luxury. It is the basis for the development of the society," Sokurov chided politicians when he picked up his award. However, Faust had an unlikely politician-patron in the form of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

How do we work?
With Student/Athletes and their families
Going to College is all about finding the right fit. We make sure we understand what is important to student-athletes about this pathway and customise our search to help them reach their specific goals and dreams.

With Colleges
We know Colleges. We know what college coaches want. We work together with the student athletes and their families to develop a profile that provides an impressive snapshot of the applicant as an athlete, as a student and most importantly as a person.

With Australian schools and sporting associations
The amount of information about US College Sporting Scholarships can be overwhelming. But don't worry… we are here to make this once in a lifetime opportunity a realistic option for your students.

The Study & Play USA Difference
We provide the knowledge, experience, expertise and genuine care for student-athletes to choose their life journey – travelling to the USA to live, play, learn, compete, study, grow and develop in a purpose fit University environment.
Our student-athletes' families learn from us how to navigate the admissions, enrolment, visa and eligibility stages of this process. Together we build student-athlete profiles; contact coaches; discuss the exciting options, all in a safe, comforting and supportive environment.
From the initial profile, to receiving the "offer", through that first flight to the USA, to the magical graduation cap and gown, we share your family's joy in this unique journey.
Our pride is in seeing you, our client, make the best choices to set up your successful life.
Meg first met Chris when going to row in the US was still just an idea and the Study & Play USA team helped us make Meg's dream to row overseas a reality. There's no way Meg would be in America much less at The University of Connecticut on a rowing scholarship without the help and guidance of Study & Play USA. From uploading training footage, contacting coaches and schools, visa paperwork and building profiles there are so many steps involved to get to a college in the US and Chris and Alexa were instrumental in coaching us through the entire process. Study & Play USA was committed to helping us find a college in the United States that was not only the most athletically appropriate but the best fit for Meg as a student too. Meg started at UConn in January as a freshman and Human Rights Major, she is loving her new home and her new team. We absolutely could not have done it without Chris and Alexa, thank you so much Study & Play USA.
– Meg & Traceyview all testimonials
How do I know if I qualify? Am I good enough?
The best way to find this out is to contact us, and we will provide for you an obligation free academic and athletic assessment. These assessments provide you with definitive feedback that will allow you to make an informed decision about whether or not this pathway is for you.
Why can't I just do it myself?
You can do so if you wish. However, the danger with attempting this process by yourself is that much of the process may be able to be completed, but it only takes one error or oversight in paperwork for you to miss out or run out of time, affecting your eligibility to compete in college sports. Many applicants come to Study & Play USA having attempted the process on their own having hit a 'brick wall' in the process. It is unfortunate for those who have given up on such a great opportunity due to these obstacles turning them off. For this reason, engaging Study & Play USA to facilitate and guide you through the process gives you peace of mind and a wealth of experience.

Environmental Well-Being
The definition of the Environmental Wellness takes on two distinct aspects in function of the fact that one evaluates the mental state or the physical well-being that gives a pleasant sensation.
In this second case this environmental wellbeing is generated by a condition of comfort achieved through a balance between the single person and the surrounding environment, mainly tied to thermal and hygrometric factors, air quality, absence of contaminants and magnetic fields.
Comfort is defined as the feeling of physical and mental wellbeing or as the condition in which an individual expresses satisfaction with the surrounding environment.
In general, you are in a state of well-being in your environment when you don't perceive any kind of uncomfortable feeling, in a state of absolute neutrality respect to the surrounding environment. This definition makes clear that wellness is not a measurable quantity nor analytically neither statistically, because it depends from too many variables, some of which are strictly subjective and psychological.
The variables are: thermal comfort and humidity; welfare olfactory (related to air quality); healthy sight (relative to enlightenment); psychological well-being.

Question about Palm Treo 650 Handheld
I have a Palm Treo 650 that I'd like to use with Verizon Wireless. I already contact Verizon to see if the phone could be used. Encountered an unhelpful tech who didn't know and wanted me to spend another $299 and purchase a newer Treo from Verizon.
Is anyone aware of how to find and remove the carrier's lock code so the cell is compatible with any carrier? I
One more request - I'd like to remove the Sprint 'splash screen' that boots up when turned on too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Posted by Bued on
If you are a Verizon customer with a Verizon account and the Palm is a Verizon labeled phone, the support people will be able to assist you with transfering the phone to your account.
Since this is a Sprint labeled and logoed phone, there may be a bit more work to get this locked to your account. You will need to have a Verizon technician assist you by calling their support line and explaining your situation. You will need to verify with them that the phone has a clean ESN and they will ask you for that number to check. They will be able to get you on their network if the ESN is clean and your account is in good standing. There are a number of sites and blogs dedicated to this very issue. Just search for your phone on the internet and you will find them and what to do to have your phone switched over.
As far as changing the splash screen from Sprint to Verizon, that requires software and understanding where the image files are located. This is not a task for the novice. Again, when you look through these sites, you will find the information on how to change these items, how to back up your phones data dump, and how to read the different categories these items are located in. Be careful...you can destroy your phone if you are not careful.
Good luck.

Things To Do in RobertsonArangieskop Hiking Trail
Hiking Trails Breede River Valley
Where? Dassieshoek Nature Reserve, outside Robertson, Breede River Valley
When? Booking is essential.
How? Call +27 (0)23 626-8242
How much? Price on request
Overnight? Stay at accommodation in Robertson, in Western Cape
Start: Dassieshoek Nature Reserve, outside Robertson
Finish: Dassieshoek
Duration: 22 km, 2 days
Fitness: difficult, the uphill is a continuous slog and will test your endurance
Our tip: hard going on the knees, so you might want to make sure that your pack is light
The highlights of the Arangieskop hike, sometimes referred to as the Kilimanjaro of the Cape by those who have gone before, is the overnight stay in the cabin just 200 metres below the summit, and the views from the top � well worth the effort.
Even Mike Lundy calls this 'the mother and father of all trails in the Western Cape'. Day one is 9.5 km. The route is up. And it will take you roughly 8 hours to complete, depending on your fitness.
The steady climb does have intermittent flat bits that allow one to drink in the views of the Robertson valley as it opens up below you, and a drop into a ravine fairly early into the hike bring relief. But for the rest, it is a constant zig-zag up the mountain.
Day two is a rather difficult descent. The route is circular, so you don't simply go back down the way you went up. The return involves a further ascent to the top of Dassieshoek peak with incredible views out over the Koo valley on the other side. If you've already done this the day before as you reached the hut (because you couldn't resist the views) then you add this re-scramble to your day.
The descent does offer the possibility of a swim, on the river crossing, in a swim hole at the bottom of the ravine.

Director's Spotlight!
Fury is pleased to have Peter Connor as director for Oleanna.
Peter is a regional freelance director whose work has been seen in St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Chicago. He like's bringing new works to life as well as bringing new life to established works such as Oleanna. Some of his recent directorial credits include "The Harlequin" by Mark Contorno, "No Stopping, No Warping, No Dying" by Ed Krystosek, and "Airline Miles: a Gay Love Story" by Hank Perritt.
"As a director I believe the writers words, thoughts, and ideas are the most important aspect of what the audiences experiences during a performance. Second, is the Actors performance and third is what the director brings.
Everyone knows that David Mamet is a great playwright. He has risen to a level of prestige that few writers have achieved and his works deserve it.
Oleanna is no exception and some of the themes in Oleanna have always interested me - political correctness, the concept of "tyranny by the weak", the role of a liberal education and feminism.
So with a love of directing, and interest in the themes of Oleanna I took a new look at this 20 plus year old play. While re-exploring Oleanna I have come to believe that it is one of Mr. Mamet's best works. And here is why.
Oleanna elegantly explores the intersections we all encounter everyday. The intersections between our internal world of desires (sometimes unknown to ourselves), our public world where we think and feel we are unique individuals meeting other unique individuals, and the larger cultural structures that hold us all.
I don't think Mr Mamet is making an overt judgment of right and wrong but does show us how quickly communication between people can go astray when one person is coming from one perspective and another person is coming from a different perspective.
To make matters more complex and true, Oleanna shows we can change our perspectives all the time and even if we are aware of the dynamics I point to above - we can still fail miserable at communicating with tragic consequences.
Yet, still not know what is right or wrong - or what perspective is most valuable.
I am really excited about putting this well know play together. I love the cast we have - they are perfect for the roles. The production team is awesome. And i really want you to see and experience what David Mamet wrote."
Peter would like to thank Fury Theater, this cast and crew for their hard work, vision and performance. To inquire about Peter's availability for your project, please contact him at email@example.com. He thanks Da+via for everything.

Every minute a business remains closed due to a disaster is a minute during which revenue isn't being earned, bringing the business one step closer to complete failure with every tick of the clock.
Frank Jablonski, Product Marketing Director for Acronis Cloud and Mobility Solutions puts it this way: "Can you afford to be down for a week?" The answer to that question for large numbers of businesses is a definite "No."
For most businesses, no matter what products or services they sell, recovery from a disaster requires the restoration of the critical customer, product, process and other data needed to run the business. Recovering that data quickly can make the difference between failure and survival. "If you've lost your billing system," says Jablonski as an example, "and you don't know who to send invoices to, you're not going to get money in…. People go out of business pretty quickly due to cash flow issues."
Because of the heavy reliance on data for all types of business, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security says "a plan for backup and restoration of electronic information is essential" for every business to recover from a disaster of any kind. (Emphasis added.)
"A lot of people understand this concept," says Jablonski, "but it used to be too expensive." Until recently, backup recovery systems had to be custom built for each business, complete with servers and operating system licenses. And it had to be maintained in separate locations, safely away from the main IT systems. All that extra infrastructure added expense that only large companies could afford to maintain. That left a lot of businesses vulnerable.
Now, however, the advent of disaster recovery-as-a-service means that economies of scale can work for businesses that can't afford or don't want to maintain their own backup systems, says Jablonski. The hardware and software needed for disaster recovery-as-a-service is maintained by dedicated companies like Acronis and its service provider partners that serve many businesses. The cloud makes it possible.
Acronis Disaster Recovery Service works by backing up a company's IT systems to a dedicated appliance on the company's premises and also to the Acronis cloud data center. The service works quietly behind the scenes backing up critical files, software, servers and even entire data centers. Regular, automated tests ensure that everything remains up to date and operates perfectly.
Then, in the event of a disaster, a click of a button on a Web interface restores any amount of the company's data in fifteen minutes or less. If the company's hardware is gone along with the data, as might happen in a fire or a flood, virtual servers replicating the company's lost systems spring to life, keeping business running without interruption and for however long it takes to restore the lost systems. It's all geared toward getting businesses back up and running as quickly as possible following a disaster—and preventing them from becoming a statistic.

Nov 2015
Care Home Insolvencies could cause UK crisis
The number of residential care home occupants currently stands at 426,000, according to Laing Buisson's recent statistics. Those over 65 years of age make up 405,000 of the total; a figure which could reasonably be expected to rise given our ever increasing life expectancies. However, many care homes are now under severe financial pressure, and with up to a third facing the threat of insolvency, serious consideration needs to be given to the future of the care industry.
Staffing is the largest cost for care homes, amounting to roughly two thirds of total expenses. The industry has come under pressure in recent years due to reports of inadequate care and even abuse of patients, however filling rotas with competent staff is not an easy task. NHS training places for nurses have been reduced in the past 2 years, and currently no programme exists to enable care workers to train within the care homes themselves to become qualified nurses. The industry is therefore failing to attract enough young and career driven trainees, and is generally populated with staff and nurses who are considerably older than those in hospitals. Furthermore, establishments are increasingly forced to rely on more expensive agency workers to fill the gaps, increasing the overall staff costs.
Further problems are imminent with the introduction of the Living Wage. Staff numbers cannot be cut, due to rightly imposed regulations on staff-to-patient ratios. As a result, it is expected that the funding gap once the Living Wage is implemented could be as much as £2bn. Whether this deficit will be compensated by government funding remains to be seen, and should be revealed in George Osbourne's statement on 25 November.
The care industry as a whole is now made up of mainly privately owned establishments. The residents are a mixture; some paying privately for themselves, others funded by the councils or government subsidies. 37% of homes rely on local authority funding, however, in recent years the amounts that councils are paying for care home places have diminished due to budget reductions. Additionally, the criteria to qualify for a care home place have been tightened, leaving some spaces empty. For smaller homes, sustaining these increased costs along with empty beds is not viable. Julian Evans, Knight Frank's head of healthcare, has stated that some 7300 smaller homes, with less than 30 places, are in real danger of closing down in the near future.
Terra Firma, operators of Four Seasons Healthcare which is Britain's biggest care provider has warned that unless something changes, it will be forced to start selling off or closing down a number of its homes. When Southern Cross collapsed in 2011, it was purchased privately, preventing a crisis whereby 37,000 beds could have been lost, but whether a buyer could be found if a similar situation occurred now that there is even more financial pressure on the industry remains to be seen. Even the companies which are currently successful will see their profits knocked by at least 4% based on a 7.5% wage increase.
It would spell disaster if the NHS were faced with housing the displaced occupants. Care home residents pay, on average, £563 per week for a room, whereas a hospital bed costs the NHS £260 per day. Drastic measures would be needed to find space and funding for thousands of patients displaced by insolvent care homes. It will be interesting to see what the Autumn Statement proposes as a solution - watch this space.

Assessment Matters
Use of Te Reo Māori in External Assessment
A2016/010 - 04 May 2016
Use of Te Reo Māori in External Assessment
Candidates may complete external assessment in Te Reo Māori. A list of subjects that allow translation and answers in Te Reo Māori, is available at Te Reo Māori translation subjects.
Schools with candidates who wish to be assessed through the medium of Māori language must undertake two separate processes to ensure papers are translated, and/or interpreters are available for answers written in Te Reo Māori:
- Complete the Te Reo Māori in external assessment form,
- Set the Translated paper and/or Answer in Te Reo flags in the school's data file submission to NZQA.
Te Reo Māori in external assessment form
You must use the Te Reo Māori in external assessment form to indicate to NZQA each of the externally assessed standards your school would like translated into Te Reo Māori, and for which your students are likely to answer in Te Reo Māori. This form must be completed and returned to NZQA by Wednesday 1 June 2016.
NZQA uses the information from this form to gain an understanding of the number of externally assessed standards requiring translation, and those that are likely to produce answers in Te Reo.
Translated papers and Answer in Te Reo data file flags
Any students wanting a paper translated into Te Reo Māori or those who would like to answer their examination questions in Te Reo must have the correct flags set against their entries in the 1 August 2016 data file submission to NZQA.
NZQA uses the data from this file to calculate the number of examination papers and additional materials requiring translation, and the number of interpreters that are likely to be required.
There are two types of data file flags:
- Te Reo Māori paper flag for candidates who would like a paper translated into Te Reo Māori for a standard
- Te Reo Māori answer flag for candidates who will answer wholly or partly in Te Reo Māori
If candidates from your school / kura expect to receive an examination paper in Te Reo Māori, and will also answer in Te Reo Māori, both flags must be set.
Late requests for translation
Requests made for the translation of an examination paper after Monday 1 August 2016 may mean that translated papers are not available. Schools may be invoiced if additional expenditure is required to produce a translated paper due to late notification.
NCEA and New Zealand Scholarship English
Do not set flags for any Level 1-3 English or New Zealand Scholarship English standards as these are to be read and answered in English.
NCEA Te Reo Māori and Te Reo Rangatira, and New Zealand Scholarship Te Reo Māori and Te Reo Rangitira
For NCEA Levels 1,2 and 3 Te Reo Māori and Te Reo Rangatira examinations and New Zealand Scholarship Te Reo Māori and Te Reo Rangatira, the titles, instructions and questions will be in either Te Reo Māori or in English. All answers are to be written in Te Reo Māori unless candidates are otherwise instructed.
Glossaries for translated NCEA and New Zealand Scholarship external examinations can be found on the Subject Resources page of the NZQA website.
Please refer any enquiries relating to your School Relationship Manager.

Tim Whitcher commented 2016-10-15 13:33:42 +0100Watching the political change over the last few weeks – especially regarding BREXIT and with todays statement regarding the £350m for the NHS (or lack thereof) I started thinking about we actually are trying to achieve. I came up with this…
1 Value Engineering: Protecting Our Institutions
Break the Link between Protection and Stasis: People have this funny notion that protection means stasis – holding a thing in its exact form. This is wrong. Protection of our greatest institutions is not about stasis or status quo – it is about protecting the principles of the thing.
Understanding and using this will enable us to break with history and create some truly innovative, but totally dedicated ideas which revolutionize the way we deliver policy in Great Britain.
In order to do this, we first need to recognize what we have in its true form – both in terms of its constituent elements and in terms of the service it delivers.
To take one example…
The NHS. Many will tell you this is a Right. It is not. Millions all over the world would dearly love even a fraction of the health care we have, and they would take it for granted a lot less, and value it a lot more, than we do. It is not a right to have comprehensive, free-at-the-point-of-service healthcare, especially when you take it for granted. It is a Privilege. A privilege we should be prepared to work for.
Protecting the NHS is not about maintaining it in its current structure and guise but about protecting its values and principles; and answering the question: How can we provide FATPOS healthcare to the masses?
And this is just one that galvanizes public emotion, there are many more.
We need to recognize that we have some fantastic institutions and some superb ideas and reflect them in our thinking.
This way of thinking can be applied to any institution, practice or policy – stripping it back to its fundamental principles to understand what the point of them is, and thereby enabling us to think about the best solution free of any constraints.
From here we can then look to the future – what we need. Applying a systematic approach to understanding the problems through which we can develop the correct solution and not simply follow the political tradition of throwing money at the problem; at every general election that I can remember each party has promised an increase in funds for the NHS but without a clear plan of how to fix the service.
The difference between this money-driven approach and assessing the needs at a fundamental level is the difference between maintaining the status quo and really protecting our institutions.
Our institutions are at a pivotal moment. In order to achieve more than a cosmetic development of our institutions we need to utilize the technologies at our disposal and start to think about building them into the fabric of our institutions rather than retrofit them to existing structures. Retrofitting rarely works perfectly, by defining our solutions in terms of what we need to deliver and the principles they should uphold we can develop dedicated technology-driven solutions which future-proof our institutions for the next generation. Ideally for the one after that as well.
If we free ourselves of carrying historical baggage with us, allow ourselves to think creatively and innovatively and focus on delivering the best solution with the best technology and process we have to hand now and what we can conceive and build, we can develop truly exciting and effective policies which deliver exactly what we need, in the manner we want and that is the envy of the world.
